A couple of things that stand out to me. It's base scan resolution is very low for a ship of its class(compare the confessors 350 to the coercers 525). I know the base stats need to be lowish to compensate for the massive mode bonuses. But this seems extremely low and I think it should be bumped up a bit.
The lack of a tracking bonus, even a small one (25%) on the sniper mode. It would really help nail fast kiters.
The last thing is the unimpressive dps. Barely more than a coercer. I think and extra turret would be good.
Last last thing. The Armor resistance bonus to the defensive mode seems to high. I would drop to 25. Combined with the lowered sig this is very powerful.

This. I'm kinda sick of the cap usage bonus also. It's a useless bonus that should not be on ANY amarr ships. |

Can we get a dev reply to the comments and concerns in this thread? Or is the confessor releasing as it is? |

Sure core launcher is sufficient if it's meant to probe down wormholes and all that.
So instead, you made a ship that further trivialises Cov Ops frigates.
Cheers.
No, actually expecting a Cov Ops frigate balance pass. Time to put those combat bonuses to good use. ... This thing can give ongrid warps in combat. This thing sure as hell can't scan down hard signatures. Or do you see a scan probe strength bonus? Hard signatures. Such as wormholes that I referred to? Which would be difficult? Cos I see plenty of non-bonused hulls doing that. I'm not sure what your statement is. I am aware that it can provide on grid warp ins - I clearly asked why this ship can fit expanded launchers. I do not see how it's justified that it can because there are dedicated ships for that.
Because you need expanded launchers for combat probes? What are you getting at?
There is no dedicated combat proper. Not a single one . It is either a gimp fit dictor or a cloaky. This will be the FIRST ship in eve that can scan something, Warp to it, and hold it while backup lands. |

That there is no reason why it should have that ability considering it's strong combat focus and the presence of other ship roles. AnimeHeretic wrote:There is no dedicated combat proper.

AnimeHeretic wrote:This will be the FIRST ship in eve that can scan something, Warp to it, and hold it while backup lands. It will also be a ship that can do the job of 2 ships. Scan something, warp to it and kill it. You don't become a dedicated combat scanning ship because you have reduction to the CPU. You are just given a free ticket to equip it with no difficulties. And thats on a ship that will have the same range as a slicer, will go just as fast as a slicer, will deal the damage of two slicers, will be able to probe, point and kill.
It's far from a free ticket. It will still use 11 cpu. And on a ship with fitting this tight, that's quite a bit. And it still dies if you look at it funny. No drones. Very low ehp. And it's FAR from the speed a slicer can reach. Drones will eat it for breakfast.
I'm sorry you won't be able to kite 300km off a gate and then laugh at everyone chasing you. Now I can land on your interceptor.
(and no, gimped dictors and cov Ops frigs are not dedicated combat probers. They are two ships made for completely different purposes.) |

Still not a single dev reply.
Honestly I would be good if the laser cap bonus was dropped for a tracking bonus. And it had a bit more base hp. But it will. Likely release as is.
Whelp. |

Seems we got forgotten about here in the confessor thread.
Hopefully the winmatar d3 is better thought out. |
